I'm usually over jaded drinking badasses. My dad was watching X-Men 2 today, and all I could think of was how over Wolverine I was a very long time ago. And yet, when it was a woman, it somehow worked for me. Maybe because I personally haven't seen too many female characters like that yet (I'm sure they exist, just not in the fandoms I frequent).

ayrt

in general media, I don't think i encounter it too much, but so many of the fandoms I've been in over the years (even ones I'm no longer active in) had the hard drinking, jaded, female badass (I was all about ocs, and even when not, the Canon supplies apt characters -- PotC, SPN, many things, because being a jaded hard drinking person was "cool, edgy, and meant you were deep/had a troubled past" = automatic match with the MC. Hence the auto eyeroll. Not Valkyerie' s fault, but fandom.

I think it helped with Valkyerie that she wasn't portrayed as anyone's love interest. She had a fun relationship with Hulk/Banner but her storyline wasn't about being broken and then healing and coming to terms with her past in his or Thor's arms or anything.

Same. I feel a lot of character tropes are revitalized when you switch up a core aspect of it, like having the jaded brooding alcoholic be a woman or the damsel in distress be a man.
